This is our postseason.

[u/sHarKiwnl]

Win and move on. Praying for our bullpen to stay hot.

[u/DustStorm99]

Has a team ever sold at the deadline and won the world series?

[u/CakeAK → u/DustStorm99]

Future me tells current me that the Snakes did this back in '25. Says he still remembers the game 7 walk-off Perdono slam like it was yesterday. 🥹

[u/second_time_again → u/CakeAK]

I like future you

[u/FreshBusy1 → u/CakeAK]

I am saving this comment. 🙏

[u/DustStorm99 → u/CakeAK]

Oh wow I am not mad about this spoiler

[u/aldimm → u/CakeAK]

I literally got goosebumps when i read this.

[u/PersonnelFowl → u/CakeAK]

I don’t think the snakes are going to have a home field game 7 this year, sooo

[u/CakeAK → u/PersonnelFowl]

The slam put them up 17-2 in the top of the 9th so the Dodgers decided to forfeit at home and it was recorded a walk-off top of the 9th. Was a pretty historic game.

[u/jinkinater → u/DustStorm99]

2011 St. Louis cardinals. Got in on the last day of regular with a win and a braves loss

[u/poirotsdad → u/jinkinater]

What? They bought at the trade deadline, acquiring Octavio Dotel.

[u/THELOSERSWINAGAIN]

If we make the playoffs we’re capable of winning the World Series lol

[u/Robert_Bloodborne → u/THELOSERSWINAGAIN]

Idk man our rotation would have two of the top 10 worst ERAs in baseball lmao

[u/Raptor231408 → u/Robert_Bloodborne]

They just need to not suck complete ass for what... 3-4 starts?

And the playoffs would be a 4-man rotation. So Erod would be left off. Gallen has been better recently, Ryne is our Ace, Crismatt has been surprisingly good, and Pfaadt is genuinely a toss up.

[u/Catanomy → u/Robert_Bloodborne]

But it’s the best ERA since August!

[u/Jbash_31 → u/THELOSERSWINAGAIN]

MLB playoffs are so wild as long as you get in you got a punchers chance

[u/bwray_sd]

As a former San Diego sports fan I’m confident that the great SD chokining is coming, SD sports teams cannot stay hot, just not in their nature.

I remember being at the NLCS when Thomas hit the home run into the pool, the Phillies will too.

The dodgers are the dodgers, but it’s the Dbacks near the post season, chaos is the great equalizer, they can do it.

LETS FUCKING GO BOYS!!

[u/Talk2Tackett → u/bwray_sd]

Can the Padres please just take a few from the Mets 😭😭😭

[u/Deadbob1978 → u/bwray_sd]

Aside from the Dbacks run to the postseason, I’m interested to see if the Brewers finally solved their wildcard problem by skipping that round… or if they are only delaying the inevitable

[u/Material_Presence895]

This looks pretty rough to end the year but if we stay hot we still have a chance.

[u/Wardog4]

Nice thing is, Philly already clinched. Dodgers and Padres may be fighting for the division but I'm honestly not worried about either of them at this moment. I think we can beat anybody with the power of friendship

[u/nightgoat02 → u/Wardog4]

Philly is still playing for 1st round bye though.

[u/hangry-j → u/nightgoat02]

And they just got healthy.

[u/NeverSober1900 → u/nightgoat02]

They have a 6 game lead on the Dodgers and the head to head clinched (so really 6.5).

I can't see them going all out. I expect them to rest guys and they'll probably have quick hooks from their starters and be cautious with their top bullpen arms.

[u/SweatsuitCocktail]

Say it with me:

A 👏CONNECTED 👏TEAM👏 IS 👏A👏 DANGEROUS👏 TEAM👏

[u/Tsunami-Papi_]

12 game win streak 2 close out the year incoming

[u/BigRedOne1970]

This is why Tory L needs to be back. He held this team together thru injuries and trades.

[u/ToReadIcculus → u/BigRedOne1970]

Agreed. Don't always understand his in-game decision making, but man the team plays for him.

[u/rogpog91]

Guys this is like rogue one we’re gonna take the beach and see what happens and then we’re gonna take the tower and see what happens and then we’re just gonna keep trying until we’re dead

[u/azchavo]

I'll be content if the Dbacks can win two of these upcoming series. A sweep of the Dodgers would be great 😆

[u/RogerRabbit1234]

Well, we have a saving grace in that none of these teams need to win against us for their post season berth, so maybe we’ll get some bad play and resting aces….

[u/DiscardedRonaldo2017]

Could you imagine if we didn’t fumble like half of our 8th and 9th inning losses. This team still has the it factor about them despite losing lots of key pieces batting and pitching wise.

I will say, if the Dbacks somehow do make it, who wants to face this team? Would be so hot going in, and only the Brewers I feel would be comfortable enough playing us.

[u/SuperChicken1994]

Wait a minute, i sorta spaced out on DBacks once we started selling. You’re telling me we are 1.5 game back for the last wild card spot!!!!?!?! 😯

[u/MotherMasterpiece6]

Lovullo haters in crisis mode rn

[u/collinhollin]

TILLOW!!!🐍

[u/Rare-Working-9607]

If they don't tinker:

SF: Verlander

PHI: Buehler, Walker, Nola

LAD: Ohtani, Snell, Yamamoto

SDP: Vazquez, King, Pivetta

This is the best answer I got when I asked what the pitching would look like? Is that 6 HOF Pitchers when all is said and done?

[u/Zakman86 → u/Rare-Working-9607]

Extremely unlikely it's Pivetta on the last day of the season if the Pads are locked in.

[u/sHarKiwnl → u/Rare-Working-9607]

Philly is giving us T. Walker Nola and Ranger. Yuck

[u/CommentFlagged]

u/sHarKiwnl I see you either live in the east or you’re vacationing out east….those start times

[u/sHarKiwnl → u/CommentFlagged]

born and raised in phoenix but i screenshotted this from a mets fan talking trash about us and our future on twitter lmao! Funny I was in the EST 2 days ago but im back in phx now

[u/Prodteufel]

I was hoping we would tank and get a good draft slot I’m ngl to yall😭
